Answering my own question in case anyone searching for info later finds this. I spoke to HMRC in the UK. They quoted article 19 of the treaty between UK & Finland covering double-taxation and said pensions should only be taxable in the country where they arise (UK in my case) and this also covers an...

See https://www.vero.fi/en/individuals/tax-cards-and-tax-returns/arriving_in_finland/Pension-from-abroad/ Unfortunately that site doesn't answer my question so I called Vero to ask them. The lady I spoke to didn't know the answer so she promised to find out and call me back, which she did today. Th...

I got a reply from Migri today. Getting a response on a Sunday evening after writing to them on Thursday is quite remarkable service I think. The text of the reply was: Unfortunately the effects of Brexit are still unclear. We will publish more information about the situation as soon as more informa...

And for us Brits who have permanent residence already what will happen? I don't know, but I am in the same position except that my permit is older. I sent an email to migri today to ask about that, as I don't actually have any documentation of the permit. All I ever had was something in my passport...
